Afraid

It must feel pure to be so sure
About every little thing
But there's no cure for that angst of yours
That tugs at you like a string
Because you're afraid, afraid to know
To know the answer
'Cause you're afraid that it will burn
You're afraid to learn
A nervous tic, you're being tricked
By somebody else's god
A little bit sick and a whole lot addicted
There's another crack in the facade
Because you're afraid, afraid to see
To see the reason
'Cause you're afraid the tide has turned
And you're afraid to learn
Because you're afraid, afraid to hear
To hear the accusations
'Cause you're afraid of what you've earned
You're afraid to learn
Why suffer for nothing?
Suffer for something
